  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pregnant women taking Tylenol to spite Trump

The important thing to remember is Trump is wrong. The evidence clearly shows it’s safe.

Future evidence, actual real non-fabricated or AI slop data may show that to be wrong but as of today we can say it’s safe.

My wife had a tough time during her pregnancy and took paracetamol a lot. My son is fine.

RFK is engaging in crankism.
So safe that pregnant women have literally died from Tylenol overdoses because they wanted to stick it to Trump.

Are you serious man?

She doesn’t know patient either!
What gives it away is her over the top diatribe about liberal women. The whole thing reads like it was made for you people to consume.

This is the same social media stupidity we saw surrounding the Covid vaccines.

Why do you guys believe this nonsense?

Why do you ask for evidence or sources?
FWIW, I haven't heard of any lately, and the reports I've seen are more of the nature of rumor than confirmation. The closest I've found is an increase of women suffering acetaminophen overdose, but it doesn't seem protest related. Nor are the circumstances behind it mentioned.

As mentioned in this thread, once saw a warning on some medication that had me thinking it contained acetaminophen and a check with the pharmacist confirmed it. But my wife was already taking acetaminophen. Had she taken the medicine without stopping acetaminophen, she would have taken too much. OD in the classic sense? Don't know, but it wouldn't have done her liver any good. Is this what is going on with increased instances of overdose? Don't know, but there's a lot of OTC medicine that contain acetaminophen, as well as prescription medicines, and not being aware of it can be dangerous.

A lot of these medicines now have warnings that they contain acetaminophen. I've just taken a bottle of acetaminophen pain reliever out of my desk drawer, and even it has "Contains acetaminophen" on the label. Be that as it may, wouldn't count on a warning label always there, so it pays to check out the ingredients.

Because I know you don’t have it. Rumors, second hand stories and anecdotes being shared on social media aren’t evidence.

Do they test any medications on pregnant women? Historically, the FDA hasn’t even required drug trials to include women, which are often excluded because their hormone cycle doesn’t provide clean results. We have to rely on independent studies and reports accumulating data to determine safety. I’m not surprised Tylenol official statements say otherwise for legal reasons.

I just thought it was interesting how Trump basically makes the same recommendation made by the manufacturer and the left goes nuts.

He’s not a medical expert and should not be making medical recommendations on anything. This isn’t a political matter- get medical advice from medical professionals not politicians.

It's not a political matter, you're correct.

But people are rightfully skeptical of medical institutions (especially the drug companies) and that skepticism isn't completely unwarranted.


With this particular case, it's not as if they completely pulled this one out of thin air... NIH and Johns Hopkins were barking up the same tree about 5-6 years ago.



The researchers analyzed data from the Boston Birth Cohort, a 20-year study of early life factors influencing pregnancy and child development. They found that children whose cord blood samples contained the highest levels of acetaminophen—the generic name for the drug Tylenol—were roughly three times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder later in childhood, compared to children with the lowest levels of acetaminophen in their cord blood.

Their findings were published last week in JAMA Psychiatry.

The study, which was authored by Johns Hopkins postdoctoral fellow Yuelong Ji and colleagues, the team measured the biomarkers of acetaminophen and two of its metabolic byproducts in umbilical cord blood samples from 996 individual births.

Compared to the group with the lowest amount of acetaminophen exposure, the children in the middle third group were about 2.26 times more likely to have an ADHD diagnosis and 2.14 times more likely to have an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. Those with the highest levels of exposure were associated with 2.86 times the risk of ADHD and 3.62 times the risk for autism spectrum disorder, compared to those with the lowest exposure.



So in this particular case, it wasn't even just a simple correlation, it was a linear correlation. (which, alone still isn't 100% proof, but it does strengthen the possibility of a causal relationship)

In this case, they broke the test subjects out into 3 groups (low exposure, medium exposure, high exposure)

The fact that the medium exposure group was 2 times more likely to have a diagnosis later on, and the high exposure group was 3-4 times more likely (compared to the low exposure group) would indicate that it's at least worth looking into.

Just because it's RFK saying it, people should by no means be lumping this in with the "MMR vaccines cause autism" conspiracy theories.

This is almost tragic: how the mans inherent un-trustworthiness poisons the air around this topic.
